N102HQ

The airframe bearing tail number N102HQ is an Embraer-built ERJ 170-200LR variant, recorded as Embraer ERJ 170-200LR (E175 / ERJ-175LR) and manufactured in 2007 with serial number 17000157. The airframe is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC of Indianapolis, Indiana, US; ownership by this corporation places the airframe within a regional airline operating environment based in Indianapolis. Registry information lists the craft as a US-registered fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft, and operator records and public tracking sources report an operator-configured regional cabin layout with seating at the higher end of the family’s typical capacity. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided data.

This specific ERJ 170-200LR, N102HQ, is outfitted in an operator-configured regional cabin layout; public flight tracking sources list 80 seats while airline layouts for the type can vary between 76 and 80 seats. The aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with regional airline operations: short- to medium-range sector flying between higher-frequency city pairs within a 2,200 nm range and cruise performance near 430 knots, operating from the owner’s base in Indianapolis, IN. Avionics and interior fit are configured to the operator’s regional standards rather than a factory-standard business layout, and maintenance considerations for this airframe follow regional airline scheduling and support patterns typical for GE CF34-8E5–powered E175-series aircraft.

The Embraer ERJ 170/175 family occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, balancing stage length capability—here shown as 2,200 nm—and field performance with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competitors in the same market include other regional jets and larger turbofan commuter types that target similar capacity and range; the E175/ERJ-175LR designation highlights longer-range capability within the family. For owners and prospective secondary-market buyers, common considerations include CF34 engine maintenance cycles, airframe utilization patterns typical of regional carriers, and seating/layout variations that affect residual value and reconfiguration costs.
